With the Zendesk app in Make, you can manage the articles, comments, forum posts, groups, organizations, tickets, and users in your Zendesk account.
:::
::::

# Requirements

To use the Zendesk app in Make, you must have a [Zendesk account](https://zendesk.com/register).

# Connect Zendesk and Make&#x20;

To get started, you must first create a connection between Zendesk and Make, allowing the two services to communicate.

To create the connection:

:::::WorkflowBlock
::::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your Make account, add a Zendesk module to your scenario, and click **Create a connection**.

:::hint{type="info"}
If you add a module with an ​instant​ tag, click ​**Create a webhook**​​, then ​**Create a connection**​​.
:::
::::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the **Connection type** field, select **Zendesk**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Optional: In the ​​**Connection name​​** field, enter a name for the connection.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In th&#x65;**&#x20;Subdomain** field, enter your Zendesk subdomain. You can find your Zendesk subdomain in your browser's address bar. Example: `domain.zendesk.com`.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Save**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.
:::
:::::

You've successfully created the connection and can now use the Zendesk app in your scenarios. If you want to make changes to your connection in the future, follow the steps [here](https://help.make.com/connect-an-application#tN2pJ).

# Set up Zendesk Webhooks

The Zendesk app has `instant` modules—webhooks that watch for certain changes in Zendesk and immediately start your scenario when those changes happen. To use these modules, you must set up the webhook in your Zendesk account.

To set up the webhook:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Add a Zendesk `instant` module to your scenario and click **Create a webhook**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Optional: Enter a name for the webhook in the **Webhook name** field.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Select the corresponding connection for the webhook in the **Connection** field.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Save** > **Copy address to clipboard**. You will use this link to set up your webhook in your Zendesk account.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your Zendesk account.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Apps and integrations > Webhooks**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Create webhook**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Choose **Trigger or automation** and click **Next**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Enter a name for your webhook.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Enter the Endpoint URL that was copied from Make.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Choose your **Request method**, **Request format**, and **Authentication type** and click **Create webhook**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Next, you will need to select a trigger or automation in the Admin Center. Click **Add trigger** and enter a name.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Choose a **Category**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Set the conditions that are necessary for the trigger to run.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Under **Actions**, select **Notify by > active webhook** and then choose your new webhook that you just created. Click **Create**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Return to the Webhooks page and click **Finish setup**.
:::
::::

Your webhook is now set up. When the selected change occurs in Zendesk, Make will immediately be notified and start your scenario.
